This is one of the reasons I infrequently view and post on any tuba board now. What started off as an interesting thread on tubas, cars, etc (surprised nobody mentioned tools yet) quickly devolved into yet another political rant. There are one or two members on this board who have to take virtually every discussion in that direction. They have EVERY right to exercise their opinion, and I respect them for it, but not every thread is the time and place for it.

I hear you, Marty, but miss your posts and input, and it'd be nice to hear from you more often.

Which tuba would you like to have back, Marty?
